Description
What does it mean to be an E.L.F.?
For Grace and Rosie, it means becoming an Eternally Loved Friend of Jesus!
In I Want to Be an E.L.F., Papa opens the Gospel of Luke and helps his granddaughters discover that following Jesus is something children can do every single day. Through warm family conversations and memorable Bible stories, Grace and Rosie learn about the Good Samaritan, the lost sheep, Zacchaeus, Jesus welcoming the children, forgiveness, prayer, generosity, kindness, and loving your neighbor.
Soon, the girls begin discovering “E.L.F. moments” everywhere they go—at home, at school, on the playground, and whenever someone needs a friend.
This beautifully illustrated Christian children’s story helps young readers understand that they do not have to earn Jesus’ love. They are already deeply loved by Him—and because they are loved, they can share His love with others.
Perfect for bedtime reading, Sunday school, Christian families, grandparents and grandchildren, homeschool Bible lessons, church libraries, Christmas gifts, Easter baskets, baptisms, birthdays, and faith-filled family story time.
Children will discover simple ways to:
- Love God and love their neighbor
- Show kindness and compassion
- Forgive others
- Pray when they are worried
- Share generously
- Tell the truth
- Help people who feel lonely or left out
- Follow the teachings of Jesus in everyday life
Inspired by the Gospel of Luke, I Want to Be an E.L.F. is a joyful reminder that children are never too young to follow Jesus.
Because every day is a wonderful day to be an…
Eternally Loved Friend of Jesus.
